FIRE AND WATER PROOF PAINT SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 296,324, dated April 8, 1884:.

Application filed January 9, 1884. (No specimens.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MARION O. FIsHER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Allens Hill, in the county of Ontario and State 5 of New York, have invented certain new and usefullmprovements in Eirgand Water Proof Roof-Paint; and I do declare the following to be afull, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appcrtains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in fire and water proof paint compounds, having for its object the provision of a compound which shall preserve and protect wood and metal from the action of the r water fire, 850., and which is especially adapted for "the painting of all kinds of roofs.

My invention consists of the following ingredients, combined in substantially the proportions stated, to wit: one (1) barrel of egg tgg, thirty (30) pounds of yellowfo 'clh er, thirtyseven (37) pounds of I neral ptppt, thirtyseven (37) pounds of su phu r, fourteen (14) pounds ofa l u m and twenty (20) pounds of talc. Yellow ocher, mineral paint, sulphur,

alum, and talc, in a dry state, are thoroughly mixed by any suitable means with the coaltar, and the mixture or compound thus pro-; 7

duced is for one hour subjected, immediately before using, to a heat of 260 degrees Fahr- 'enheit.

I am aware that most of the ingredients of I my compound have been heretofore used in" other combinations as a paint; but by the addition of t a lgi to which I attach importance,

the compound is rendered both fire and water J I proof. I would therefore have it understood that I do not limit myself to the exact proportions hereindescribed, but hold myself at liberty to make such changes therein as fairly V r herein described, consisting of coal-tar, yel low OQI'IQI, mineral paint, sulphpfialh m, andtalc, compouii'd ed 'iii the manner and proport'ibris substantially as herein set forth.
